    Was never really a fan of the refresh function. Clean install all the time. Only takes about 20-30 mins and good to go.

    Hi,
    Depends on how much stuff is installed
    I do clean installs because I don't have anything important on 10 anyway so there is no loss in installing benchmark goodies..

    Same here. My main rig is for fun. Can blow it away anytime I feel the need.

    hmm forgot about that feature in w10. I guess I'll try that. I don't like to clean install, cause I got a lot of pics and vids and programs installed already and it takes me weeks to return it back to normal.

    To cleanup old drivers I just use Device Manager/Show hidden devices, and uninstall what I don't need.
    To really clean up you can use these:
    Toolkit Item: Device Cleanup Tool Win10.Guru


    Toolkit Item: DriverStore Explorer (aka RAPR.exe) Win10.Guru

    If you need help using these, just ask @EdTittel for help.

    I personally hate doing clean installs because of too much software, software keys, redirecting OneDrive, my Libraries, and Hyper-V manager to the other disks I have them all on.

    @N00berG00ber: What @Cliff S said. I'm here to help if the articles at Win10.Guru don't do the trick for you. Use both programs all the time.

    What's up guys?

    So with temps in my room increasing, my PC temps are hitting all time highs! My CPU is hitting 70+c and GPU is hitting 60+c under water, I think this is partially the fault of me not putting the CPU block back together correctly or it is getting clogged. I'm about to pull it out to find out soon. So to combat the rising temps, I thought about adding another 120mm rad on the rear of the case as an exhaust. But if I do this, that rear fan is the only exhaust fan in the system because the top and front are pulling air into the case. I feel doing this would just heat the water up more and not actually see any benefits. The other option is to try and do a push pull setup on either the front or top rads or both, but idk how much of a difference if any this will accomplish. Thoughts?

    swapped the fans to push rather than pull, added a larger res, and remounted the cpu bracket and block. seems like i dropped 5c. in bfv, my cpu temps are around mid 50s to low 60, and gpu is around 54c. previously, cpu temps were at mid 60s to 70s and gpu was at 58-60c. success!
